How to Make Spicy Sweet Potato Puff

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube 2 lbs of sweet potatoes. Boil until tender (approximately 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
  3. Mash the cooked sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 - 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (adjust to taste). Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared dish.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  7. While the puff is baking, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to combine until crumbly.
  8. After 20 minutes, sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato puff.
  9. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the puff is heated through.
